Description

The TH is at the end of Jenkins Ranch road which is off of North College Ave. From there, follow nice, gradually climbing singletrack to the top of the ridge. Enjoy the views. Either go back down the way you came or keep heading down the ridge for some technical fun.

Trail was in perfect condition. Two small mud sections just as you reach the top! Someday I hope to ride this trail "clean". So fun! 2mi
